Real life thread

[Franklin]

I will write of this more as time progresses and as I feel up to it.

But my condition has now been diagnosed as terminal. The tumors in my liver and in my right breast muscle, as well as several more in my vertebrae and in my skin have made it clear that a cure is not going to be possible.

It will all depend on how aggressive the ones in the liver and my breast are an what else comes.

I will contuse to post an enjoy your camaraderie and friendship as long as I am able...and who knows, that could range from a few months to two or three years. In the end, it is in God's Hands and I trust His judgment.

As I say...time will tell.

Shocking news. One can judge a persons life by the impact he had on others. And you have certainly made an impact here on SDF.

Its a strange place SDF, we don't know each others real names or faces or heard each others voices. If two members walk each other by on the street or sat in the same waiting room we wouldn't even talk to each other. Because we don't know who the other is. All we know of each others is our screen names.

But none the less the members here do have a bond with each other and we care for each others well being. This news saddens the members of SDF and it saddens me.

We voted last week. One of the workers at the polls in the county building said they were getting about 500 folks a day the week previous to us voting. When you consider the population of Linn county is only 220,000 or so...that is quite a bit.

Voted on my way to work this morning, and there was a longer line than usual at the voting station. Motivating!

Yes Sir, and as much as the "whiners" are complaining about dirty, nasty politics??? and they do whine like dogs??? in fact we have this mess because those same whiners usually vote to increase their Guv-ment benefits. Romney talked about the 47%?, after 8 years of Obama, its prolly 67% now, the Guv-ment dole has only grown larger as the BHO administration has killed jobs, business, and opportunity, increased MEDICAL expenses by 50 to 100% in the best cases???

and fined people who because of this economic hardship can no longer afford health insurance!

I know, I've paid two years of fines after losing my Hospice position because of Obamacare rewriting medicare guidelines, eliminating "hospice chaplains" and instituting "spiritual counselors"???? whats that??? and they cut reimbursements for every kind of Hospice visit, from nursing, CNA's, Social Workers, you name it, they cut it.

Yep! The line was definitely longer than usual. In the past, I usually had to "only" wait about 1 - 1.5 hours. This time, I waited close to 3 hours...

It's easier to spend other people's money, and politicians from both parties are experts at Bread & Circuses. Also, don't forget the 94 million eligible workers not in the labor market. I'm so relieved we only have to put up with King Barack for two and-a-half months!

Wow, 3 hours. Never had to wait more than maybe 45 minutes (today), let alone 1.5 or 3 hours.

Wow, Bless you Heart brother, I only waited about 5 mins,,,, so I have no complaints. I just took my 92 year old Mother in Law to the "town-ship hall" where we vote, my wife is the "township" clerk, her Dad was on the township board, then was township "commissioner for 20+ years. The job didn't pay much, but there was and is a general assistance fund, which he applied generously to the needy around town. He stepped down, and the woman who took his place may have given out a dozen grants in the last 4 years, she is so stingy, she has made it nearly impossible to get help from the township.

So for those of you, who might have thought I didn't want to help poor people, or people with problems??? nothing could be further from the truth.

We chose the party that supports LIFE. Why? It is written;

Deuteronomy 30:19 New King James Version (NKJV)

19... I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live;

What?! I might just move to your town...

Although it was a long wait, it was also an entertaining wait. In the past, it's always been a quiet wait. Everyone waits in line quietly while doing their own things (cell phones, MP3's, etc). This time, some candidates from my district actually came to our voting station and did some last minute campaigning. And supporters from both parties came out and did some last minute campaigning as well. At one point, two guys from opposing parties started arguing with each other. It got pretty heated. I kinda hoped / feared / wished one of them would pull out their guns... Like I said, long wait but entertaining...

I wonder if the wait time is connected with party affiliations. By that, I mean are wait times in Democrat-dominated areas greater than wait times in Republican-dominated areas?
